CLOSE OF REUNION
A GREAT^SUCCESS
Grizzled Veterans Bid Good
bye to Little Rook.
PLEASED WITH RECEPTION
Convention of the United Confederate
Veterans’ Association Comes to an
End at Little Rock—IVIost Success
ful and Enjoyabe Reunion.
Friday the last of the gn^izzled vet
erans of the lost cause left Little
fiock, and the gathering pas^bd Into
history. '
The convention of Confederate vet
erans ended with the grand parade
and the annual Confederate veterans’
ball.
All the old soldiers who remained
In the city were escorted to their
trains and presented with baskets of
lunches by the Daughters of the Con
federacy.
It is remarkable that the parade
was attended with but few accidents
and no fatal results. There were sev
eral of the war-worn soldiegrs who
found that they were not, able to
withstand the tiresome treadmill of
the parade, and succumbed to the
heat, but they were speedily cared
for, and all soon recovered. •
While bands played wartime airs,
the soldiers of the old south marched
through the streets of Little Rock in
their twenty-first annual parade.
Their commander-in-chief, Gen. Geo.
W. Gordon, of Memphis,. Tenn.' was
confined to his room by the order of
physicians. As the line of march
passed the hotel, the veterans saluted.
The reviewing stand, that had been
intended for officers, was given over
to aged and infirm veterans, although
many were in line who had lost a
leg, an arm or were l^ed from
wounds received at war. Governor
5fonaghey^ of Arkansas, with his or
derly and private secretary, occupied
a carriage in the parade.
The lasti event of this year’s re
union was the Confederate ball,
which was given at the auditorium,
attended by those who, remained for
that purpose and who included digni
taries of the United Confederate Vet
erans and kindred organizations.
The next reunion will be held ct
Macon. Ga.
BRIBEItT
Illinois State Senate is Not Through
With Lorimer Election Scandal.
A Springfield, 111., dispatch says:
The charges of bribery in the election
of William Lorimer to the United
States senate will be pushed by the
Btate senate to the limit, following
the adoption of a resolution in that
oody, which declares that the seat
was obtained by bribery and Corrup
tion. The resolution passed by a
■vote of 39 to 10, and recommendation
was made to \he United States sen
ate to push the investigation with all
aste. Evidence which was gathered
y the state senate investigating
^mmlttee recently, connecting Ed-
ard Hines, the lumber millionaire
and Edward Tilden, head of the beef
fuat, with the raising and distribu-
of an alleged $100,000 corruption
und which was used to buy votes in
legislature, will be presented to
^oe senate.

Judge Edelo^Petit, of Chicago, who
relieved Tilden and two of his asso
ciates from testifying or producing
documentary evidence demanded by
the, committee on a writ of habeas
corpus. j
It was declared at Springfield, 111.,
that the Helm committee would use
every means In its power to punish
Tilden for contempt in refusing to ap
pear before It.
It is probable he will be forced to
show his books in the investigation
of the part played in the bribery by
State Senators Broderick and Pem

the go-|betweens.

Bull Leader Declares That There Is
Not Enough to Go Around.
“There is not enough cotton to go
around,” declared Frank B. Hayne,
prominent bull leadfer and local cot
ton buyer, of New Orleans. He
caused excitement in the New Or
leans exchange by offering to buy
200,000 b^les of May and July at the
market price, • then going one better
by offering an eighth of a cent higher
than the exchange quotations for all j sawmill man, at Wadesborough, Leon

The Lynchers Visited the Lake City
Jail During the Sheriff’s Absence
and Presented Bogus Order to
Young Son to Deliver Negroes.
Masquerading as officers of the law,
a dozen men appeared before the
county Jail at 2^ o’cjp^ Sunday at
Lake City, Fla., ^na !^resented a
bogus telegram to the creaulous 16-
year-old son of the sheriff ordering
the release of Mark Norris, Jr., Jerry,
Gusto and four other negroes, who|
had been held for safe keeping on the
charge cf murdering B. B. Smith, a
that be lay in ^wait for his victim.
After Mrs. James told of the crime,
dogs were put on the trail, and when
he was ’ identified he confessed the
crime. The sheriff vainly tried to get
the mob to give up the criminal. The
man’s prayers for mercy were cut
‘shicrt 'by the rope, which had been
thrown over the cross of the little
church.
WROTE FAREWELL NOTE.

1,” he continued. “And there is not
enough to keep the mills running,
and some of them must close down.
For the last two years the world has
needed 27,000,000 bales, and all it wUl
get will be 22,500,000 bales, or 4,500,-
000 bales short of the auount re
quired, and what would have been
used had the staple been grown. That
Is the situation. I believe cotton will
go higher.”
SANGUINARY BATTLE.
Streets of Cuautia Reported to Be
Choked With Dead Bodies.
A sanguinary battle was fought at
Cuautia, twenty miles southeast of
Cuernavaga, Mexico, between the fed
eral garrison, under Colonel Mungula,
and a force of rebels, commanded by
Colonel Zapata. Fugitives arriving
state that the streets of Cuautia are
strewn with dead and wounded.
A commission left for Cuautia car
rying news of the armistice, which, it
is hoped, will put an end to the fight
ing. General Figueroa is leading
3,000 rebel troops from Igualaga, pre-
sumabljr en route for this city.
Cuernavacia is the capital of the
state of Morelos, and is forty miles
south of Mexico City. Cuautia is a
town of about 8,000, in Morelos.
MEETING PLACE CHOSEN.
Baptists Name Oklahoma City for
i. 1912 Convention.
Oklahoma City has been chosen as
the next place of meeting by the
Southern Baptist convention, which
has been in session at Jacksonville,
Fla.
The convention unanimously in
dorsed President Taft's plans for lit
ternational peace.
FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT.
David Upchurch Meets Instant Death
When His Car Goes Over Bluff.
David Upchurch was instantly
killed and his companion, Dick Hall,
probably fatally injured at Selma,
Ala., when their automobile ran over
the embankment of the Alabama river
at the foot of Church street in SeUna.
Both young men belong to promi
nent families at Uniontown, Ala.
Witnesses to the accident declare
the machine struck a §econd bluff in
its descent, turning a complete somer
sault, and was crushed to splinters by
the fall. Upchurch’s body •Was so
badly crushed as to be unrecognizable.
Negroes ^hot to Pieces.
The men, who had come from Tal
lahassee to Lake City in automobiles,
carried the negroes about a mile out
side cf Lake City, C9mpelled the ne
groes to stand abreast, and about ten
men commenced firing with winches
ters and pistols, until every one of
the six had been riddled with bullets.
The. firing lasted about half an
hiour, and a few straggling citizens at
daybreak found the negroes, butch
ered beyond recognition,' Just after
the automobiles left the scene of the
lynching.
. Lynchers Traveled 106 Miles.
The men who planned the execution
of the six negroes came overland
from Tallahassee, a distance of 106
miles, and covered most of' the dis
tance at night.
It is possible that the occupants of
the two automobiles were never seen
from the time they left Tallahassee
until they returned. The plans of the
men were the most daring, and but
for a curious combination of circum
stances probably would have never
been accomplished. The sheriff of
Columbia county was out of the city,
and left the Jail in charge of the boy,
who, aroused in the early hours of
the morning, allowed the six negroes
to be taken from the JaiF without
knowing the sinister purpose of the
mob.
Lynching at Swainesboro.
Ben Smith, the old negro preacher
who shot and fatally wounded Neal
Canady, deputy marshal of Summit,
was hanged to a Unib and his body
riddled with bullets by an infuriated
mob.
Canady was attempting to arrest
Smith, for whom he had a warrant for
shooting his wife. Before Canady
could' arrest him, however, Sin|th
pulled out a pistol, shooting the mar
shal through the bowels, inflicting a
probably fatal wound. As’ Canfidy
fell he fired a shot at the fleeing ne
gro, which struck him, but did not
totally disable him. ’
LYNCHERS HANG MAN.
Orkey Had Confessed to Committing
an Outrage on a Woman.
Praying vainly 'for mercy at the
h^nds of a determined mob, John S.
Orkey, a tramp, after confessing to
having committed an assault on Mrs.
Harvey James, wife of a miner, was
hanged at Bluefields, ya., to the cross
on a little church in the suburbs of
the city. It was in the shadow of the
church where his body w^ hanf^ed
Then Macon Man Took Dose Which
Ended His Life.
The funeral of Chaj*ies Bailey, who
killed himself last night by taking
morphine, was held from Hart’s
chapel, Macon, Ga. His brother,
from Americus, who is said to be
quite wealthy, was in attendance.
Bailey was a gambler, it is said, and
recently went broke. When his
S^om was broken into, a note to his
mother aftd one his
found. He had written to his niiloth-
^er: “To My Dear Mother: Taking all
things into consideration, I think this
is the best way, so good-bye. I’ll meet
3^)u in the sweet by and bye.” To
his brother, Wailter Bailey, lie re
quested that his death be made cer
tain before burial. Bailey was c46
years of age.-

« and Splendor.

unveiled at London amid scenes of
pomp and in the presence of British
and German royalty. King George
and Queen Mary of England and Em

The royal party walked from the
grand entrance in the quadrangle to
the grounds of Buckingham palace
through the central archwaijj*^ and the
new gateway to the statue. A guard
of honor was drawn upon the quad
rangle and the royal route was lined
with soldiers and marines drawn up
with presented arms. ^
A squad of mounted police rode
through the streets wherein the royal
party was to pass, while the “surveil
lance sqiiad’* of Scotland Yard, under
personal Wmmand of Superintendent
Frost, kept a sharp lookout for an
archists.
The royal party ascended the steps
of an especially constructed dais on
the palace side of Victoria gardens,
where they remaineid through the cer
emonies. The scen4 was brilliant and
inspiring. The mighty multitude upon
the Mall made a brilliant setting with
the gowns of the women and the uni
forms of the soldiers and sailors.
The privileged guests passed be
tween lijie of soldiers and took up
their stations. Both King Geprge ahd
Emperor WHliam wore the uniforms
of British field marshals, and tbeir
breasts were covered with medals.

empress. Close beh&d the royal con
sorts walked Princess Victoria of
